So the volume control actually goes up?

Bren, The volume reading on the front panel of the receiver will keep showing a higher reading until the unit shuts down.I even tried to control the volume with remote and that would have no effect.I would hit mute and it would stop.It would start without warning after the unit was on for about 2 hours.

Well I'm done fooling with it.I'm leaning toward getting a Pioneer VSX 1017TXV.It's just below the Elite models,plus the price is all I can swing right now .I just bought a new Sony HDTV,so this receiver problem did'nt come at a good time.Thanks for the comments.

Frank, try unplugging the HK for about a half hour and then replug. If that doesn't reset the volume control, call a priest.

I wonder if you should try putting some black tape over the IR receiver for the remote control for a while. If it doesn't happen with the tape on, you have some rogue infra red bouncing around the room.
Then you have to call Mulder and Scully to evict the aliens instead of Ghostbusters.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Oh... in that case, ignore what I said...
And quit sitting on the remote...
Follow the given suggestions... take the batteries out of the remote... if it still happens, cover the IR sensor on the receiver.

Hi John, You may have been right.I unpluged the receiver ,disconnected all the cables and started over.Reconnected everthing and all seems to be ok.I did change the optical cable from the dish receiver.I think that may have been the problem.Darn,I was all set to get a new receiver.One other question I have.Since I got the HDTV the sound goes down when I switch from SD to HD,is this normal?
